Good read in Newsday: https://www.newsday.com/sports/basketball/nets/nets-mavericks-1.17456925

An excerpt ...

“He makes things happen,” Carlisle said. “He’s got a nose for the ball, he’s got very good basketball senses, he has great hands, and he plays bigger than his size. He’s got a very long wingspan. He plays above the rim a little more than you think. He’s what I call a resourceful player, very underrated, underappreciated, but he’s done good things so far.”

Carlisle said “analytic geeks” might focus on limitations and envision less upside for a 24-year-old player, but the Mavs’ coach is just old- school enough to appreciate Warney’s intangibles.

“He makes doubters into believers,” Carlisle said. “Sometimes it takes a while for a guy like him that appears to be undersized to get a shot and show what he can do, but he’s our kind of guy. He doesn’t say nothing. He just goes out and kicks people’s [expletives]. That’s what you like.”
